So I started MVS in hercules mainframe emulator on Manjaro. Went to start a x3270 terminal. It did not exist…no problem I’ll just install it. So I installed it. But it said it required a restart. Hardly anything requires a restart. Ok I need to try and shutdown MVS manually. Found manual said something like shutting down bsppilot, and gave the command…it didn’t know what I was talking about. So reentered with leading /. That seemed to work. Couldn’t they just show that in the command? Of course the script wanted to know if I wanted to (S)top or (C)ontinue or something like that. So I type C…it didn’t like that! I type /C…it didn’t like that either!!! Anywho I seemingly got it to end…returned to hercules prompt. Restart…good! Start MVS…good! Start x3270, and I get this…
